Battlefield Franchise Megathread V2 - 'The Future of Warfare Is in the Past' Edition - Games

So, is BF1 so far good, or is it suffering from Battlefrontitis?

[QUOTE=DEMONSKUL;50973994]So, is BF1 so far good, or is it suffering from Battlefrontitis?[/QUOTE] Battlefrontitis was the lack of content and meaningful progression that would pull you in for a long enough time so we can't really know. So far the progression seems plentiful and judging from the big differences between the two maps we've seen at length, it seems like there'll be enough different maps too.

I like how one of my most liked features in the closed beta, that you could unlock any gadget or weapon, at any time if you had the warbonds for it, was changed to this horrible class level system in the open beta. You don't even see your progression towards the next rank, and get way, way too many warbonds for the amount of stuff you can use them on.

Overall rank doesn't even have an effect on anything. Hopefully they keep tweaking that until release.

Wanted to play a class but hated the starting weapon? No problem, just buy another with warbonds, maybe one you picked up previously from a dead enemy. Granted i feel they should heavily reduce the amount of warbonds earnt as well.

Holy fuck 190fps on ultra

Tanks need a bit of fixing though. I just went 30-0 on rush in a heavy tank because we were just killing them in the spawn and they died before they could get close enough to throw AT nades. Maybe make the AT grenades more likely to blow off the tracks or optics

[QUOTE=_demolisher_;50974167]F6TT-WAN7-4N9L-BWTQ-NC6J[/QUOTE] Wow thanks, been waiting all day for a mail but never got it!

I talked to EA Support, and they got it all sorted out really quickly. I highly recommend you try contacting them if you still haven't gotten a code, they just added it directly to my account.

Of course I would only get one round in before I went to work for the whole day + training in the evening

40-50fps on low it barely feels playable like this, kill me

My dedicated gpu can run the game, but I need to update the drivers. This gpu is combined with an integrated gpu that has gone into legacy earlier this year, 3 years after release. Because they're a set, both have to have the same drivers to run correctly, so I can't even update my good graphics card. I just spent the last four hours trying to figure out ways to update it and then having it actually register and run, to no success. Yay.

Maybe I've just been really unlucky but every single game of rush I've played so far has resulted in an attacking team steamrolling defending team

Emplacements genuinely feel powerful in this game. AA shreds planes

I think Battlefront just left a bad taste for some and it somehow transferred to BF1. If Battlefront by DICE never existed, I guess people would say "feels too much like BF4" or something.

I don't see how this relates to Battlefront at all

[QUOTE=Zeos;50974161]Holy fuck 190fps on ultra[/QUOTE] what specs?

1080gtx, i76700k, fluctuating but I have been so used to shit ports on this computer

Pretty disappointing that there's only one map, I wanted to try out the French map from the Alpha. Also the pricing for this game is disgusting. £50, fuck off EA

[QUOTE=Tacooo;50974252]Pretty disappointing that there's only one map, I wanted to try out the French map from the Alpha. Also the pricing for this game is disgusting. £50, fuck off EA[/QUOTE] I've preordered for £35 on Amazon (it's now £40)

Trying to invite my friend ingame, clicking the plus in the main menu and then invite but nothing. When alt tabbing I get [img]https://i.gyazo.com/be030226078b98720c3f23b44690af68.png[/img] Anyone else having this issue?

Just noticed there's a driver update for Nvidia cards too.

Conquest rounds feel too short imo

I found that using a controller while shooting from a tank or artillery makes it easier to control. There's also a quick switch button on the xbox controller so you can cycle through empty placements on the tank.

[QUOTE=abananapeel;50974281]Conquest rounds feel too short imo[/QUOTE] Yeah, it always ends with a time out, I've never seen anyone ever reach the 300 points.

BF1 seems like a really good WW1 shooter but unfortunately lacks depth and for me it will be a "no buy".

[QUOTE=YWNJack;50974258]I've preordered for £35 on Amazon (it's now £40)[/QUOTE] It's just fucking incredible that it's cheaper to get a box with a code in it than to have it emailed to you.

[QUOTE=Smoot;50974308]BF1 seems like a really good WW1 shooter but unfortunately lacks depth and for me it will be a "no buy".[/QUOTE] Why do you think it has less depth than previous Battlefield games?
